From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 205 Family Changes: The Cloud of Rebellion

As Wen Nuan and Mo Han stepped into the Mo Group Building, a strange atmosphere hit them.

The hall, which was bustling with people in the past, now seemed extremely deserted.

The few employees who walked by all had their heads down and walked hurriedly, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them.

When they saw Mo Han and Wen Nuan, they quickly avoided them as if they had seen ghosts, with an indescribable fear in their eyes.

"It seems that things are more serious than we thought." Wen Nuan said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity between her brows.

Mo Han held her hand tightly and gave her a comforting look.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

The two arrived at the president's office, where Butler Lin had been waiting for a long time.

His face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. When he saw Mo Han and Wen Nuan, it was as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Mo, Madam," Butler Lin tremblingly handed over a list, "This... This is a list of some suspicious people I've observed recently. They... They seem to be very close to the Second Young Master."

Mo Han took the list, glanced at the names on it, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

The people on the list include company executives, backbones of various departments, and even a few of his confidants.

"Very good, Butler Lin, you did a great job." Wen Nuan patted Butler Lin's shoulder, giving him encouragement and affirmation.

Butler Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still full of worry.

"Mr. Mo, Madam, you must be careful. The Second Young Master... he might be serious this time."

Mo Han didn't say anything, but just held the list tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

He knew a storm was coming.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han began to secretly investigate the people on the list. They retrieved surveillance videos, checked financial statements, and even visited various departments in person.

As the investigation deepened, a shocking conspiracy gradually surfaced.

"It seems that we have underestimated our second uncle's ambition." Wen Nuan looked at the information in her hand with a serious tone.

A cold light flashed in Mo Han's eyes, "Whatever he wants, I will make him pay the price."

As night falls, the Mo family's old house is brightly lit.

A family meeting is about to be held, and this meeting will determine the future of the Mo family.

Mo Han and Wen Nuan walked into the conference room side by side, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Uncle Mo sat in the main seat with a hypocritical smile on his face.

"Brother, you're finally here," Uncle Mo's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you didn't dare to come."

Mo Han ignored his provocation, walked straight to his seat and sat down, scanning everyone present with cold eyes.

"Let's get started." The atmosphere of the family meeting was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Uncle Mo sat in the main seat, looking like the head of the family, with a meaningful smile on his face.

He looked around and finally set his eyes on Mo Han. His tone was filled with undisguised provocation: "Brother, you're finally here. I thought you were hiding with your precious wife."

Mo Han's expression remained unchanged. He took Wen Nuan's hand and walked to his seat, sitting down. He stared at Second Uncle Mo with a sharp gaze, "Second Uncle, did you call a family meeting today just to say this nonsense?"

Second Uncle Mo chuckled, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Brother, that's being a bit too formal. As your younger brother, I'm naturally concerned about your health and the future of the Mo Group. However, the company's performance has been declining recently, and people are in a state of panic. It seems... you're not up to the task."

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The family members present began to whisper to each other, and their eyes turned towards Mo Han with complicated expressions.

Mo Han stood up suddenly and pushed the chair in front of him away with a harsh sound.

"Uncle, what do you mean?" His tone was cold, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"My meaning is very clear," Second Uncle Mo met Mo Han's gaze fearlessly, "The Mo family needs a more capable leader to lead us to a more glorious future."

Mo Han was furious and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he felt a warm hand gently holding his hand.

He turned to look at Wen Nuan, only to see that her eyes were calm and contained a hint of comfort.

The warm gesture was like a spring of fresh water, extinguishing the anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath, sat down again, held the warm hand in his hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Seeing this, Uncle Mo's eyes flashed with gloom. He clapped his hands, and a bodyguard immediately stepped forward and placed a document in front of Mo Han.

"Brother, this is a new company development plan I have drawn up. I hope you can consider it carefully."

Mo Han picked up the document, flipped through a few pages casually, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Second Uncle, are you forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

Second Uncle Mo didn't answer, but just smiled meaningfully. He glanced at everyone present and slowly said, "Everyone, the future of the Mo family is in our hands..."

Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's hand clench again. She raised her head and saw Aunt Mo whispering something to the people around her. From time to time, she glanced at her and Mo Han with a hint of imperceptible malice in her eyes.

Wen Nuan suddenly felt an uneasy premonition in her heart. She gently squeezed Mo Han's hand and whispered in his ear, "Be careful..."

Aunt Mo sighed pretentiously and said in a tone of "I'm doing this for your own good": "Alas, the head of the family and his wife are young and energetic, so it's inevitable that they are a little impulsive. The affairs of this company are no joke." She paused, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "I heard that the lady used to be..." She hesitated to speak, making the family members around her even more curious.

"What happened before? Aunt San, please tell me!" a young member of the tribe asked impatiently.

Aunt Mo shook her head in feigned helplessness. "Alas, family disgrace should not be made public. In short, if this lady's past were to get out, it would be bad for the Mo family's reputation."

For a moment, the conference room was filled with discussions, and all kinds of rumors spread rapidly as if they had wings.

Some people say that Wen Nuan is of humble origin and is not worthy of Mo Han; some people say that Wen Nuan is scheming and married Mo Han for the Mo family's property; some even say that Wen Nuan had done something shameful in the past and Mo Han was deceived by her.

Wen Nuan's face turned paler and paler as she listened to these unbearable rumors.

She held Mo Han's hand tightly, feeling as if her heart was being pricked by needles, with waves of pain.

Mo Han noticed the strange warmth, so he held her hand and gave her a comforting look.

"Third Aunt," the warm voice, though not loud, carried clearly throughout the conference room, "You said that my past deeds were bad for the Mo family's reputation. May I ask what they were referring to?"

Aunt Mo was taken aback by Wen Nuan's sudden question. She stammered, "I...I just heard..."

"I heard?" Wen Nuan sneered. "Third Aunt, since you heard it, you should know the principle of 'hearing is not believing, seeing is believing'. Without any solid evidence, you spread rumors and slander my reputation. Is this the Mo family tradition?"

Aunt Mo's face changed. She didn't expect Wen Nuan to refute her so strongly.

She was about to open her mouth to argue, but was interrupted by Wen Nuan.

"Aunt, you just said that my past deeds would affect the Mo family's reputation. I would like to ask you, have I ever done anything against the will of heaven and earth? Have I ever done anything to let the Mo family down?"

Wen Nuan's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and her tone was sonorous and powerful. "Since I married into the Mo family, I have always adhered to the wifely virtues and assisted Mo Han wholeheartedly. I have never done anything that would harm the interests of the Mo family. On the contrary," Wen Nuan's eyes fell on Uncle Mo, "there are some people who, for their own selfish desires, do not hesitate to sow discord and destroy family unity. This is the real harm to the interests of the Mo family!"

The warm words were so powerful that some family members who were originally wavering began to reconsider.

Uncle Mo's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He fiercely glared at Aunt Mo and whispered, "Shut up!"

The atmosphere in the conference room became tense again.

The elder of the Zhao clan coughed lightly and spoke slowly: "Ahem, the head of the family and his wife..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in!" Mo Han said in a deep voice.

A bodyguard rushed in, his face pale and breathless, and said, "Boss Mo, something bad has happened! The dock..." The bodyguard was out of breath and reported intermittently, "Boss Mo! There's an accident at the dock... There's an accident at the dock! Our goods... Our goods have been robbed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room exploded.

The wharf is an important logistics hub for the Mo Group. The robbery of goods is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Mo Group.

Uncle Mo pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's going on? How could this happen?" But he couldn't hide a hint of pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if all this was within his expectations.

"We're still unclear about the details," the bodyguard said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "We only know it was a group of masked men who did it. Their methods were very professional, and our security guards were completely powerless to resist."

Mo Han stood up suddenly, his face livid. "Send someone to investigate immediately! Make sure to find out who did this!"

"Brother, don't worry," Uncle Mo said slowly, "The most urgent thing now is to stabilize the situation and appease the shareholders. With such a big thing happening, you have to give everyone an explanation, right?"

The elder of the Zhao clan cleared his throat and said slowly: "Master, Madam, the situation is complicated right now. The most urgent task is to stabilize the overall situation and find out the truth. Although I am old, I am willing to do my best to assist the master in handling this matter." His words seemed fair, but he cleverly avoided clearly expressing his support for Mo Han and chose a neutral position, which surprised both Wen Nuan and Mo Han.

Mo Han suppressed his anger and nodded, "Thank you, elder." He turned to look at Wen Nuan, his eyes filled with determination, "Let's go."

After the two left the meeting room, Wen Nuan immediately said, "The Zhao clan elder's attitude is very strange. He clearly supported us before."

Mo Han pondered for a moment. "It seems that we have more enemies within the organization than we thought." He suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, on the list given by Butler Lin, there's a guy named Wang Baobao who's in charge of security at the dock warehouse. I've always felt that there's something fishy about him."

Wen Nuan also thought of the list provided by Butler Lin. "I think he's suspicious too. Why don't we go to the dock and take a look?"

Mo Han nodded, "Okay, let's go now."

The two drove to the dock. Along the way, Mo Han kept receiving calls, all about cargo being robbed.

Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han's furrowed brows, her heart filled with worry.

Arriving at the dock, the scene was in chaos.

Police are investigating the scene while workers are clearing the scattered goods.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han did not alarm anyone, but quietly came to the monitoring room.

Surveillance footage showed that a group of masked men sneaked into the warehouse in a well-trained manner, quickly controlled the security guards, and then loaded the goods onto the truck. The whole process took less than half an hour.

"It's indeed Bodyguard Wang!" Wen Nuan pointed at a figure on the screen. "Look, even though his face is covered, his figure and gait are exactly like Bodyguard Wang's!"

Mo Han narrowed his eyes, "It seems that he is Second Uncle's man."

"We have to find him," Wen Nuan said, "He must know something."

The two left the monitoring room and decided to secretly follow bodyguard Wang.

They followed bodyguard Wang's car from a distance and arrived at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

Bodyguard Wang seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly stopped the car and looked around vigilantly...

"Someone!" He turned around suddenly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
